DEVICE FOR RERAILING RAILWAY EQLLING STOCK.
Application filed July 15, 1921.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that 1, PAUL OswALn WEBER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Cumberland, in the county of Allega-ny and State of Maryland, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in a Device for Rerailing Railway Rolling Stock, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to improvements in a device for rerailing railway rolling stock and has for its object to provide a simple and adjustable device for quickly rerailing railway rolling stock. The device consists of a pair of rerailers, one of which is named the inside rerailer and the other one is named the outside rerailer, these names being given because of their respective locations to the track rails when in the working positions so as to permit the wheels of the locomotive or car to rest thereon and the treads of the wheels to be guided to the track rails.
Referring to the drawings, Figure 1 is a side view, Fig. 2 is a plan view, and Fig. 3 is an end view, respectively of the inside rerailer. Figs. 41, 5 and 6 are a side view, a plan view and an end view respectively of the outside rerailer.
Similar numerals refer to similar parts throughout the several views.
The base 1, which may be made as a casting or any other material of a'suitable character has lugs 2 which bear against the web of the track rail 18 and act as distance spacers to give the proper clearance between the head of the track rail and the rerailer for the admission of the car wheel flange. One end of the top surface of the base 1 has a fiat gradual incline as shown at 3 Fig. 1 for the purpose of raising the derailed locomotive or car to the rerailed height and the opposite end of the top surface of the base 1 is a continuation of the incline 3 but changing to an arched surface with the outside edges below the top of the track rail as shown at 4:, Fig. 3 to guide the wheel of the car to the rail and to prevent the car wheel from crossing the track rail. To hold Serial No. 485,132.
The base 11 of the outside rerailer has lugs 20 which bear against the web of the track rail 19 and the base is provided with a channel 13 to receive the lip 6 of the clamp 7 which is apertured for the passage of the fastening bolt 8 through same and the clamp 9 which is provided with the channel 10 to receive the outside edge of the track rail 19 for the purpose of holding the rerailer in a fixed and proper location to the track rail for the rerailing of the locomotive or car, The top surface of the base 11 has a gradual incline 12 for the purpose of raising the derailed locomotive to the rerailed height and is provided with holes 14 on the inclined surface 12 for receiving pins to hold the adjustable guide rail 15 in position.
The adjustable guide rail 15 rests on the inclined surface 12 of the base 11, being fastened to the same by pins inserted through holes 16 in the rail 15 and through the holes 14: in the base 11. For guiding the wheel of the locomotive onto the track rail, the guide rail 15 is adjusted to a position with its top surface in line with the tread of the car wheel and then fastened to the base 11 and as the derailed car is pulled, it is raised to the rerailed height by means of the inclined surface 12 with the tread of the car wheel rolling on the top surface of the guide rail 15 and being guided to the track rail by means of the car wheel flange bearing against the edge 17 of the guide rail 15. With the outside rerailer the car wheel is raised to a height suflicient to cross the track rail to a rerailed position.
From the above description the utility of the device can be clearly seen. Undoubtedly the need exists for a method of rerailing railway rolling stock in a manner requiring less time and expense than is necessary when such a task is performed by means of a wrecking train; and it is to supply this need that the present invention is adapted to be used.
Having described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
1. In a device for rerailing railway rolling stock, the combination of a base provided with side lugs and grooves and having a gradual inclined top surface changing from a flat to an arched surface; and of means for securing the base to the railway track rail.
2. In a device for rerztiling railway r011- In testimony whereof, I have signed my 111g stock, the comblnatlon of a base proname to thlsspeclficatlon 1n the presence of vlded wlth slde lugs and grooves and havtwo subscriblng wltnesses.
